That's awesome! Even if we don't give them all away at the LBS, they will
be useful at other LUG events to give to newcomers, and I'm sure the school
could use some, too. I'll certainly appropriate one for the lab. :)

True, but at the same time, they are an RPM-based distribution using a lot
of Red Hat work as a base, so there isn't a whole lot of difference. Now,
granted, there's a lot of people who think Red Hat == Linux, but they probably
won't notice the difference. ;-)
